EIGHT youngsters will travel from South Wales to Scotland this weekend to compete in the final of the British Regional Youth Climbing series.

Youngsters from all over Britain will gather near Edinburgh to take part in the tournament which is held every year for children between the ages of seven and 15.

Competitions have been held in South and North Wales for the chance to represent their country in the final on Saturday.

Instructors at the Welsh International Climbing Centre in Trelewis and Dynamic Rock, Swansea have been helping the climbers prepare for this event and are hopeful that the Welsh climbers will make a big impression.
